Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa

Maṇḍalin (मण्डलिन्) refers to “vipers” and represents a classification of Terrestrial Snakes, as taught in the Nāganāman (“names of the Sarpas”) section of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—The Kāśyapasaṃhitā (verse IV.7, 21-26ab) like most Ayurvedic texts, posits a four-fold classification of snakes. The Maṇḍalin (Viper) has its “Head located bet-ween nose and upper teeth”; has 16 varieties; has a Doṣa-predominance of Pitta and its power of poisons are “dangerous during youth”.

The 16 varieties of the Maṇḍalī snakes are:

Uṣṇa,
Śopha,
Pītta,
Ghoṇasa,
Śvetamaṇḍalī,
Kuṣṭhamaṇḍalī,
Kuṭila,
Mahāmaṇḍalī,
Bhūmamaṇḍalī,

Hemamaṇḍalī,

Maṇḍali is a kind of venomous snake. Its venom is mainly regarded to cause pitta-disorders in the traditional medical texts. For the symptoms caused by maṇḍali snake-bite, see Carakasaṃhitā Cikitsāsthāna 23.124, 128; Suśrutasaṃhitā Kalpasthāna 4.37, 39, 5.7; Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā Uttarasthāna 36.23-24 = Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha Uttarasthāna 41.65-66; the Jyotsnikā and the Maṇḍalicikitsā.

Maṇḍali (मण्डलि) refers to “viperine snakes” (having 16 varietes), according to the 20th century Prayogasamuccaya (one of the most popular and widely practised book in toxicology in Malayalam).—Snakes are divided into four categories. The Mūrkha family (hooded) with 26 varieties, Maṇḍali (viperine) family with 16 varieties, Rājila (Krait) with 13 varieties and Ventira (cross breeds) with 21 types. Snakes are again divided into 4 kulas (families). The specific distinguishing features, diet, place of dwelling, time of travel, direction of vision of each family are explained in detail.

The third chapter covers maṇḍali (viperine) snake treatment. Vegānusāra-cikitsā (stage wise treatment), specific symptoms and treatment of 16 types of maṇḍali snakes are explained here. E.g.: In rakta-maṇḍali bite, bleeding from nose and mouth, foul smell, deep enmity, hatred, fainting etc. will be seen. [...] Management of complications in maṇḍali-viṣa also has been explained.

Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira

Maṇḍalin (मण्डलिन्) refers to the “ecliptic” [?], according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “[...] Now, if [Rāhu] has a body or be simply a head with a regular motion in the ecliptic [i.e., maṇḍalin], how comes it that he eclipses the sun and moon when they are 180° from him? If his motion be not subject to fixed laws, how comes it that his exact place is ascertained; how comes it that he never eclipses by the part of his body between his head and tail? If being of the shape of a serpent he eclipses with his head or with his tail, how comes it that he does not hide one half of the heavens lying between his head and tail?”.

context information

Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).
